This paper proposes a method for detecting instances of shape classes that exhibit variable structure. The term "variable structure" is used to characterize shape classes...

Illumination conditions cause problems for many computer vision algorithms. Inparticular, shadows in an image can cause segmentation, tracking, or recognition algorithms to fail. I...

The instabilities of the medial axis of a shape under deformations have long been recognized as a major obstacle to its use in recognition and other applications. These instabilit...
Abstract. Brightness values of pixels in an image are related to image irradiance by a non-linear function, called the radiometric response function. Recovery of this function is i...
We propose a novel approach to improve the distinctiveness of local image features without significantly affecting their robustness with respect to image deformations. Local image...
